Foot Brake
Your Polaris ATV has a foot brake (1) provided as a safety feature. It
is located on the inside of the right floor board and is operated by the
right foot. It is intended as a backup to the main brake system,
especially if the main system becomes inoperative.
If the rear wheels slide, reduce brake pedal pressure to brake the rear
wheels without skidding. Aggressively applying the rear brake when
backing down a hill may cause rear tip over.
Brake Fluid Level
It will be necessary to check the brake fluid level for the foot brake.
The reservoir is located under the RH rear cab. The fluid should be
kept between the maximum and minimum marks.
Use caution when applying the foot brake. Do not aggressively
apply the foot brake when going forward or the rear wheels may
skid and slide sideways causing loss of control.
